GREAT SPECTACLE COMING— "JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN"
Greatest of Century Productions Next Attraction at English's Opera House, Indianapolis
The third of the Century Theater dramatic spectacles, "Joseph and His Brethren," will come to English's opera house the week beginning Monday. March 16th. In some respects it is built on a larger scale than either of its predecessors, for it has twelve scenes, where "The Garden of Allah" and "The Daughter of Heaven"' had only eight. There arc more than two hundred people in the production and more' than sixty speaking parts. Its success has been phenomenal. "Joseph and His Brethren"' is a vitalized version of the story in the Book of Genesis, written for the state by Louis N. Parker. Parker is known chiefly in America for his "Disraeli"' and other successes, including "Drake," the hit of the last London season. "Drake"1 was given a spectacular production at His Majesty's theater by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who has aiso produced "Joseph" there this season.
To present "Joseph and His Brethren." the Liebler Company lias selected a cast of unusual ability. Brandon Tynan, who has been a star in his own plays and leading mail for Na/.imova. will play the role of Joseph. James O'Neil. of .Monte Christo fame, will have the part of .lacob. the patriarch, and in the third act will play Pharoah. Pauline Fredericks, pronounced by artist Harrison Fisher the most beautiful woman America, and numerous other players of reputaItion will be seen in the cast, while the heads of all technical departments of The Liebler Company who worked out and produced the socalled "effects" in the play, will accompany the big production to insure the smooth production here.
The company, when traveling, has almost the proportion of a circus, with its special train of fourteen cars for the people, scenery and live-stock. Among the latter are herds of camels, oxen, asses, horses and sheep.
The four acts of "Joseph and His Brethren" will be known as "The Coat of Many Colors." "The Temptation." "The Dreams" and "The Deliverer." The scenes will be, respectively: "The Tents of Shechem." "The Well of Doth am." "Jacob's Tent,
"In the House of Pot.i-
phar." "Potiphar's Garden," "Zuleila's Room," "In the Prison." "In Pharaoh's Palace." '"Jacob's Tent," "The Entrance to Joseph's House," "The Pyramid," and "In Joseph's House."
The curtain will rise promptly at 2 o'clock in the "afternoon and at 8 in the evening. The management announces that those of the audience who are not in place at that hour will not be seated until the end of the scene. The seat sale opens Thursday, March 12th. Mail orders with remittances will be filled in the order received. d\v (Advertisement)
